Trauma & EMDR Therapy in Chapel Hill

Services

Painful experiences can keep showing up in your thoughts, relationships, sleep, or sense of safety. You do not need the perfect words to ask for support. I'm Celeste Ige, MSW, LCSW, and I offer trauma therapy by appointment in Durham and telehealth for people located in North Carolina.

We begin by understanding what you are experiencing and what you want to change. Together, we can practice coping skills and consider EMDR or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) when appropriate. Your needs, readiness, and preferences guide the pace. Contact Conversations Therapy to discuss fit, availability, and your specific insurance plan.

Begin Your Healing Journey with Confidence

I bring more than 14 years of clinical experience to our work together. We can explore how past experiences affect your present, identify triggers, and practice ways to feel more grounded in daily life. You can ask questions, share concerns about treatment, and help shape your goals.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a structured psychotherapy used to address distress connected with traumatic memories. Processing may involve guided eye movements, taps, or sounds. Preparation and assessment come before memory processing; you do not have to begin by recounting everything that happened.

EMDR is one option. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and coping skills may also be part of your plan. We will discuss benefits, possible discomfort, and alternatives before deciding together. Progress and treatment length vary.

Understanding Trauma & EMDR Therapy: Your Questions Answered by Conversations Therapy

What is EMDR therapy and how does it work?

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences by utilizing guided eye movements. This approach assists clients in confronting distressing memories while fostering adaptive coping mechanisms.

Who can benefit from Trauma & EMDR therapy?

If difficult experiences continue to affect your life, we can assess what support may help. EMDR may be considered for trauma-related concerns after discussing your history, current safety, goals, and readiness. It is not the right fit for everyone; we can explore other approaches together.

How long does EMDR therapy typically take?

There is no fixed timeline. Assessment, preparation, your goals, and the concerns you bring all influence the plan. We will review progress together and adjust as needed. The practice does not promise a specific number of sessions or a particular outcome.

Is EMDR therapy performed in person or online?

The practice offers in-person therapy by appointment in Durham and telehealth for people physically located in North Carolina. We will discuss whether trauma-focused work, including EMDR, is appropriate for your needs and setting. Contact the practice to discuss options and current availability.

How do I know if EMDR therapy is right for me?

The best way to determine if EMDR therapy is suitable for your situation is to have an initial consultation with Celeste Ige. Together, you can discuss your experiences, goals, and whether EMDR or cognitive processing therapy (CPT) may be the right approach for you.
